  • "Use Current Page" to save home pages/tabs is greyed out, even though I have a fresh install of ver. 22 with no added plugins or extensions. How can I fix?

    When I try to save my home pages / tabs, I can't, because this option is greyed out. I even uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller completely, reinstalled with no new plugins or extensions, and it remains greyed out. The only thing that I can do, is pin the tabs, but I wish to be able to use this option. If I can't, I won't know if its Firefox, or malware or? Thank you in advance for any help. Windows 7 Premium SP1, Firefox ver. 22

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • When I open firefox it is returning to the last viewed page instead of my homepage even though I have the settings set to clear history every time I close Firefox. I check and all of the previous history is still there and not deleted..

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

  • HT201250 How do you stop a Macbookpro with OSX 10.7.5 from turning off or logging off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    My problem is my Macbookpro mid 2010 with OSX 10.7.5 seems to turn off or logs off before timemachine is finished with the backup even though I have changed settings for energy management to "never" shutdown when plugged in to an outlet?

    I had this problem on an IMac and I finally found a solution in an unlikely place. The problem was a security setting. I don't remember right this moment the exact setting and I am not on that machine right now but when I am I will try to retrace my steps to the fix. In the meantime check your security settings and any browser or browser extensions for computer log off settings. These settings are intended to prevent unauthorized use and incidentally screw up your backups. Hope this helps.

  • WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

    WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
    Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
    I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
    Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
    Thank you.

    nbar,
    Thank you for your reply.
    However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
    Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
    MichaelLAX,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
    Frank,
    Thank you for your second reply.
    I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none."   The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
    Any futher thoughts?
    xdab, 
    Thank you for your reply.
    "Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
    YES!! This is exactly the problem.
    "If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
    This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
    "By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
    I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
    Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
    Regards,
    Sara

  • Why does a group of App Tabs used as home page "double" when Firefox is re-started?

    I'm using Firefox 4, and have set a group of tabs (some pinned using App Tab, others as normal tabs) as my home page.
    When I start Firefox, the tabs pinned using App Tab appear twice, as a pinned tab and as a normal tab.
    Is there a setting I'm missing? Is it possible to have a group of pinned tabs + regular tabs as initial page?

    The problem is that if you have, say, three pinned app tabs set as the home page, most (but not all) of the time when FF4 starts, it'll open up SIX tabs, the original three PLUS three identical (but unpinned) tabs. Personally, I have five, so my FF4 starts with TEN tabs - not what I want.
    If I unpin the tabs, FF4 behaves as expected.
    It happens with Ubuntu as well as Windows versions.

  • Why does the vidio on you tube jump and skip now with firefox 4. I did not have this problem before.

    The video, not the sound, skips and jumps on you tube. Before I upgraded to firefox 4, the video flowed smoothly. Why. Fix this now!!!!!

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why does only a spinning gear appear on the 'Home' page of the Creative Cloud window?

    When I click on the icon for Creative Cloud on the toolbar, it opens in the 'Home' window and a spinning gear appears. It does not disappear until I click on another page, such as 'Apps,' "Files,' etc.

    This worked for me:
    Open Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder. Type in ~/library and hit enter.
    Open Application Support/Adobe folder and rename OOBE folder to OOBEold.
    Click on Apple icon on the top left, select System Preferences
    Choose the network that is currently connected to internet that can be Ethernet or
    Airport(Wireless). Click on Advanced button and click Proxies Tab.
    Under 'Select a Proxy server to Configure' Uncheck all the proxy check boxes, then uncheck 'Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV)'.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

    In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

    Thank you so much, Picas!  I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

  • I have recently had to install itunes and it won't sync with my iphone 4s even though I have signed in to my apple id, how can I fix this?

    My laptop needed wiping and rebuilding. I built it up and re downloaded itunes. However it will not sync with my iphone. I have re logged into my apple id on the itunes but still no sync is happening. I don't want to erase all of the songs on my iphone as I have a fair few albums. Is there anyway I can solve the sync issue without wiping all of my existing apps and music?

    It is not devices, it is computers only. You can have up to 5 computers authorized with the same iTunes account.
    The computer you are using is not activated with your iTunes account with iTunes? If not, is a computer available that is activated with your iTunes account? You can deactivate all computers from one computer that is activated following by activating the computer you are using now.

  • TS1702 Why does my mac open with iphoto when I connect my iPhone

    When I connect my iPhone to my Mac Mini the Mini opens automatically to iPhoto and just sits with the wheel spinning.  I have to force quit to exit.   My mini is set to automatically open in Itunes when conncected to an iPhone.  Not happening.  Any thoughts?

    iPhoto SHOULD open if you have photos in the Camera Roll, just like it would with any digital camera.
    For the problem with it not appearing in iTunes see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591
